I get paralyzed by my demons some times. I feel like what ever I write will be garbage, won't make sense, then when I do write, I spend more time self-editing. I'm going to try and relax and follow your guidelines here.

Don't worry about a premise, just write, even it is just a description of what is outside your window or how your fingers feel when they tap the keyboard.
